Yeah I agree, that quote says it all really. I think it could have been said by a lot of great photographers in fact. HCB always went on about how he wasn't particularly interested in photography but the life going on around him, and that the camera was just a tool to capture it.

Striving after all the technical stuff with no underlying motive always seems like banging your head against a wall! Why do that?!
